Today is our last day in Japan, early tomorrow morning we will head for Narita International Airport.
We did some sightseeing in the Kansai area with the kids, in order to show them a Japan other than the neighbourhood of their grandparents house. They were not very impressed though, but I hope they will appreciate it some time in the future. This summer is extremely hot, even by Japanese standards, and Kyoto was one of the heat poles of the country. We had some 37 degrees Celsius when we visited Kinkakuji, and much to my surprise there were much more visitors that at my previous visits. That is why I took this image from the backside (the frontside was too crowded). It is competely unedited, straight out of the camera.
I took probably several thousands of images, and it will take some time until they are all processed and selected....
